Meet at Chico Park & Ride (Hwy 32/99) west lot at 9:00 am or at the trailhead (north side of bridge over Deer Creek on Hwy 32) at 10:00 am. This is a gentle, 2-mile walk down the Deer Creek trail to falls and fish ladder. Nearby there may be California fuchsia and Sierra mint still in bloom along with fall colors of Indian rhubarb and big leaf maple. We sometimes see hordes of ladybird beetles gathering for the winter here. Bring water and lunch with money for ridesharing. Wear clothing appropriate for the weather.
